Affordable Housing Set Aside Policy Set to Undergo Review

The Portland Housing Bureau (PHB) and the Portland Development Commission (PDC) are beginning work on a process to review and update the City’s Set Aside policy for affordable housing. Established by Portland City Council in 2006, the Set Aside remains the largest and primary source of financing for affordable housing programs in the city.

The policy is reviewed for any necessary updates and changes every five years, with the last review completed in 2010. The Housing Bureau and PDC have scheduled three public meetings to gather input from stakeholders and the public before making recommendations to City Council.
